Appearance: more youthful and sporty
After a new design, the new Camry is more powerful in terms of appearance, and the overall sense of hierarchy is more obvious, and even a little Lexus shadow.
In terms of dimensions, the 2025 Toyota Camry is not much different from the 2024 Toyota Camry.

The front is fitted with a full LCD instrument cluster, and the floating display at the center control is significantly larger.2025 Toyota Camry low-spec models use a combination of 7-inch LCD gauges + 8-inch center entertainment touch screen, and the high-spec models use a dual 12.3-inch screen, along with a JBL stereo, which supports Apple Carplay regardless of whether it's a high-spec model or a low-spec model.The air vents have a through design, and the commonly used buttons are retained below for quick operation while driving.
As far as passenger space is concerned, there are no major changes in the body dimensions or wheelbase.The ninth-generation Camry is essentially the same as its predecessor.The vehicle's seat package is excellent, supportive enough, and long-distance driving will not feel fatigue.
The height of 178cm experience person adjusted the front seat, then came to the back row, head and legs have a good margin. It is worth praising that the surface material of the center backrest is very soft, which is more friendly to the middle passenger.
Configuration
From the LCD instrumentation to the center control screen, the two generations of Camry is actually not very comparable, after all, the generation difference advantage obviously exists, the two generations of models are also different by six years.2025 Toyota Camry to improve the most obvious place is the intelligent safety configuration.
The 9th generation 2025 Camry is equipped with the same Lexus Toyota Safety Sense Intelligent Safety 3.0 system, a set of intelligent driver assistance system, imported a number of new features, such as pre-emptive active driving assistance, emergency driving assistance, traffic sign recognition, lane change assistance, as well as forward traffic safety warning, door opening warning, and driver status monitoring.
Engine: Elimination of 3.5L V6 engine
The Camry's popularity must be linked to its powertrain, which is characterized as "fast, smooth and frugal".The Camry is available in Saudi Arabia with two powertrains.
Firstly, the 2.5-liter petrol engine produces 201 hp and 240 Nm of torque, as before.The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. According to official figures, fuel consumption is 17.2 km/l.
However, for those who wish to save fuel, Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system is combined with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery with a powerful 83kW electric motor for even more performance.Producing a combined 227hp and 221Nm of torque, it is mated to an e-CVT transmission. Toyota says this fusion is designed to provide a satisfying feeling of acceleration and torque, while keeping fuel consumption and emissions low. According to official figures, fuel consumption is 27.7 km/l.
Unfortunately, the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 engine of the previous generation has not been retained; for reference, the 3.5-liter V6 engine produces 298 hp at 6,600 rpm.However, it produces 356 Nm of torque at a higher speed of 4700 rpm.Paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, this engine's power increases linearly, rather than pushing hard from low revs itself like the turbocharged Honda Accord.The 0-100 kph acceleration time for the Camry V6 is 6.4 seconds with the ESP switched off and slows down if it is turned on.Fuel consumption of the previous generation Camry V6 was 8.5 km/l.
